Peter, Amy, and Aaron preparing for their up-coming concert at our church. They asked me to take this shot for some posters which will hang around the church. The color version will be used for that, but I liked this black and white version better.
I do like it in B&W as well. I also like the diagonal composition and the possible age progression of the people. Hard to tell if the gentleman on the left is older or younger than the lady
@grammyn Thank you Katy and thank you for the fav! I think Peter and Amy are basically contemporaries but Peter may be slightly older. Aaron is in high school, but you should hear him play!
Thank you so much for all your views, comments and favs! I wish you could have heard just a little bit of the practice that I heard. It's going to be a beautiful concert indeed!
Peter and Amy met while she was a student at Ohio University's music conservatory (I don't think that's official name- but it is a very prestigious school.) She has sung professionally in both Opera and musicals. And also sang at a president's inauguration (Bush Sr.), so you can imagine the caliber here. Peter has been an accompanist for several opera houses, playing for some fairly high level artists- both here and in the Netherlands (where he is originally from). Young Aaron handles the bow masterfully for even though he is still in high-school. Plans are to continue his studies in the performing arts in college.
@ludwigsdiana I don't know if the concert will be recorded for our church's facebook or youtube pages, but if it is, I will definitely let you know.
@johnmaguire It was tricky getting Peter (in front) to relax and pretend- Amy and Aaron were quick to pick it up. I took about 30 pictures- this was the only one of the lot of them where all three subjects looked good. I need definitely need a lot more practice on candid portraiture!
Lovely shot of the three of them.
